@jerry: Photoshop. I used a crop tool, then increased to canvas by 20 pixels horizontally and vertically, used the erase tool to rough out the edge. Finally, I created a new layer with a opacity of 95 percent and applied a 100 percent hardness brush to the two corners (with a fabric texture) and added a 1 pixel shadow to the layer.

You can accomplish the same effect with free tools like Gimp.

Thanks for that :)

OR

you can D/L a program called GuiKit2dlta and ThemeChanger. se the former to convert SS .guikit files to .dlta files, then install with ThemeChanger. For FREE.

Note: SS does have a few advantages (application skins being the main one), however I don't think that it is wort the cost. If it worked more like Kaleidoscope (annoying dialog at boot, but you can use it forever), I would consider buying it; however I usually won't pay for shareware that expires.

Kool thanks for the tip :happy: Can't wait to get my iMac G5 this Thursday :woot:

So I have been posting here for a while now, but I need to know:

How do I embed an image into my post that brings up a different pic when I click on it (i.e. preview icon for entire desktop image)? Thanks.

@PlainLazy: Which model of the iMac you Getting? I will tell you, I have had my G5 for a bit less than a year, and it is nothing short of stellar as far as performance/capabilities...I have not found anything I can do to make it slow, unlike my old B&W 500 G3 or my friend's Sawtooth Dual 500 G4, and that includes doing things like encoding four DVD's to full-frame uncompressed H.264...anyways enjoy your new Mac, I am sure you will love it!

Let's see if I can do this right:

OK I see. the IMG tag has to be nested in the URL tag. Fair enough.

I got my 17 inch 1.8GHz iMac G5 just over a week ago, and my Windows box has barely been touched, apart from to enable iTunes sharing for my music.

I got 768 in mine, because I didn't want to pay Apple's prices for RAM, and I have to say that it seems to be more than enough for anything. I was amazed at how powerful it is. I mean, I expected good things moving from a G4 to a G5, but nothing like this.

Enjoy yourself, and post screenshots with wild abandon.

I don't really consider myself lucky, I worked my ass off for my eMac, 4g iPod 40 GB and JBL Creature II speakers. So it's not like they dropped out of the sky. :p

But thanks anyway! :)

I consider myself lucky...my G5 was a birthday present! (Altho my B&W HAD just been fried by a lightning strike [R.I.P.]..) OT, but does anyone know how much it costs for the latest version of Maya, particularly with an educational discount? I am going to Full Sail this April and will need it for the 3D animation degree....

    • I disagree here sorry. The majority of their customers are corporations who are locked in to their eco system and have no choice. Private individuals don't contribute that much to their income.
    • Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9. Hopping up a step to the $12 tier gets you TR-49, Expelled, and A Highland Song for paying at least $12. If you go for the $20 tier, you get four e-books from the Heaven's Vault series. The bundle has almost three weeks on its counter before it goes away.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
